The Treasure Chest


Valentines day was drawing near ,
and I made a wish for a gift so dear.
My Grandpa heard it and said not a word,
and upon that little wish he did work.

Cutting out little wooden hearts
and stacking them just so,
then he wrote little whispers
of prayers and a hug to go.
Placed them in that little box
and adorned it with a bow ,
then hid it in his dresser drawer
untill time to show.

Upon each prayer it had a direction,
of where the best love could be found .
The day before valentines day he hid them all around ,
Except for one he left inthe box safe and sound.

Upon Valentines day as his grand daughter woke,
she found that little box up on her pillow.
Then smiled wide and set up straight in bed,
and when she saw the little wooden heart within
she shook her head.

The little note etched there
said someones love is being shared,
She read a little further and it replied
but follow the map for love is there.
As she got up and followed the map
and found another heart,
it said keep looking honey for love will never part .

Sixteen little hearts and she had found fourteen,
and as she read the sixteenth heart
it brought her to me.
Oh Grandpa the map brought me to you,
do you have the seventeenth heart
and now what do I do.

He smiled and held his arms wide,
for such love he did share .
Then she searched his pockets
and with a sparkle in her eyes,
she found the love that was there.

In his beat up old coveralls in the front pocket it was,
and tied about that little heart
was seventeen tiny hearts of love.
Little lockets upon a bracelet each etched you see,
and embossed upon each one with a letter there said.
